I'm not sure where you get the nonsense that it WAS styled as perpetual.

The Founders, the founding documents, the Supreme Court, and common sense for starters. Do you really seriously believe that they went through all that trouble in order to create a transitory or perishable union? From Texas v. White:

By [the Articles of Confederation], the Union was solemnly declared to "be perpetual." And when these Articles were found to be inadequate to the exigencies of the country, the Constitution was ordained "to form a more perfect Union." It is difficult to convey the idea of indissoluble unity more clearly than by these words. What can be indissoluble if a perpetual Union, made more perfect, is not?
It should be self-evident.

“It should be self-evident.”

That is precisely the problem. The words of founding documents and the SCOTUS decision are so self-evident, giving them any acknowledgement shatters the illusions of his fantasy.
